"but you are obviously an audiophile
which is not the case of many.
this 44.Khz -> 48Khz business
is just terrible."It's not so much the "audiophile" part of me that raised the flag, but the "engineering" part of me..... I otherwise wouldn't have realized how awful this was. I might have cited the sonic ills in an individual player or DAC, but wouldn't have had any idea what may have been causing it.
On the PC Audio board, at least everybody there agrees that Microsoft's "kmixer" is something that should be disabled, overridden, or bypassed, because the playback is no longer "bit perfect." But a lot of people there don't realize this is ASRC described in another way. The only difference between kmixer and 24/96 upsampling is the output sample rate is half (24/48). And nothing else.
